A photograph inside a white-and-red decorated tent showing a golden ornate throne draped with garlands of marigolds, roses and multicoloured flower strands. Seated on the throne is a man in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, holding open a black laptop that a young man in white dhoti and shawl is presenting to him. To the left stands a bald man in orange robes and gold bangles, and a golden footstool with pink and orange flowers sits in front of the throne. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the saffron robes, orange turban and mala, with the candidate's role as the seated figure receiving the laptop.2011-07-15July 15 20112011-07-15A photograph of a ceremonial stage under a white tent. A man in orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate golden throne decorated with garlands of marigolds and red and purple flowers, under a golden canopy. Behind him, a priest in a plain white dhoti and bare chest stands with his hands near the throne, and a man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands at right beside a large fire. Another man in a white dhoti sits at left beside a large drum, and a bare-chested priest in white stands near him. Small brass and clay lamps with flames and offerings sit on the green floor at the front, and mats are spread at left. The seated figure's distinctive orange turban, saffron robes and rudraksha malas match the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues.2011-07-15July 15 20112011-07-15A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands in red, white and yellow flowers, with a striped canopy above. The central figure wears saffron/orange robes, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial gold necklace, with long swept-back hair, and holds an open book. Standing beside the throne, a shaved-headed attendant in orange robes holds a ceremonial item, another attendant in orange and a man in white stand nearby, and a woman in orange sari with a rudraksha mala stands at right. A flower offering lies at the base of the throne. Appearance cues are consistent with the page's claim, so this is a person presence seated on the throne.2008-07-17July 17 20082008-07-17December 05 20092009-12-05A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long hair and a beaded necklace, holding up a book with both hands on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, decorated with garlands of orange and yellow flowers. Two attendants in orange and white stand beside him: a shaved-headed monk in orange on the left holding a brass vessel, and a woman in an orange sari with rudraksha beads on the right extending her hand toward a bowl. A white-clad man stands at the left edge, and a bowl of flower petals sits in front of the throne. The setting resembles a guru ceremony with book release and bhiksha offering. Presence of the figure on the throne is appearance-based and uncertain, so the candidate is described only by role and clothing: the seated figure in orange with long hair and a mala is a person.2008-07-17A padapuja ceremony in a yellow-draped hall with gold-carved throne. A seated figure in orange robes with a white and red flower garland and a red tilak sits on a gold throne with carved lion armrests, his bare feet resting on a silver tray. A figure in orange robes with long dark hair kneels and bends forward to honour his feet, while an older man in white sits on the floor nearby. Fruit, a bottle of water, a tray of offerings and books sit on a glass side table. The seated figure's identity is not established by appearance alone, so he is described by role as the one receiving padapuja; the photo page indicates a person was present at this event.2009-09-07A padapuja ceremony under a white tent with floral-garlanded golden throne. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, with a rudraksha mala and a white flower garland, sits on the gilded peetha and smiles while an older woman in a white sari bows with her head touching the figure's feet.

On the right, a man in orange kurta with a saffron shawl and a garland looks on. Garlands in red, yellow and green drape the throne backdrop.2011-07-15July 17 20082008-07-17July 17 20082008-07-17
